Re: What Wee Dram Are You Enjoying Now - Fall 2013/Winter 2014

Well, given that I'm leaving for a week and a half and when I get back family will be in town, my wife decided to give me one of my Christmas gifts early... which was a Caperdonich 17 year bottled by Berry's. We were both turned on to Caperdonich when dinning at Canlis in Seattle for our last anniversary. Though there is a definite age difference, the one we had at Canlis was a 34 year old bottled by Duncan Taylor, the same underlying desert like quality was there. On both the nose and the pallet your hit with wonderful vanilla and pear, and my wife picked out nutmeg and maybe some cinnamon on the finish. I look forward to exploring this dram much more and will likely get another bottle to bunker as the distillery closed in 2002, and then later demolished in 2010.
